Abstract:
The improper use of the term "normal" was frequently detected in the available literature, in studies dealing with coronary artery anatomy, pathology and angiography, as well as in epidemiological investigations. Many examples are presented which try to demonstrate that without a clear understanding of the normal, it is a very difficult task to explore the abnormal during coronary atherogenesis and the successive stages which form the natural history of coronary atherosclerosis.
